A Great Journalist.

A tall richly dressed man, wearing {
watch charm as large as a fat iron
sat in the office of an Estelline hotel.
lie had the appearance of man who
owned the whole earth and was look
Ing aronnd for purchaser. With a
patroniZing wave of his hand he said
"Yes, gentlemen, the profession of
journalism is grand. 1t is the press OF
to-day that is the lever which moves
the world. The newspaper is not only
your true educator morally and intel
lectually, but the dictator before
which governments bow. myself am
journalist, and am proud of it." He
paused and sank back in his chair.
Two small boys In the back part of the
room took of their hats and a man
kicked the cog and made him crawl
back under the table. There was
breathless silence. A moment later
the journalist arose and walked out.
One man took a chew Of tobacco and
another tiptoed up to the counter,
jerked his head toward the door, and
said to the landlord:
"Well, 1 suppose that is the editor oi
the London Tines"
Not hardly" replied the landlord
"He is soliciting subscriptions for the

Avoid Opiatcs.

The Manufacturers Gazette, we be-
lieve, speaks candidly when it says that
the increasing use of opiates and other
drugs intended to either allay or excite
nervous activity is an evil in this cOun-
try equal to if not worse than the eX-
cessive use of intoxicating liquors.
Comparatively little is said of il in pub
lie journals, and there is no such cru
SADIE against it as there is against in
temperance. The insidiouSneSS of the
drug habit makes it the more danger
Gus. The great majority of those who
begin the use of opium, morphine and
clloral do it under prescription of ply
sicians, and often without being allow
ed to know what they are taking until
the habit is thoroughly fastened upon
them. Such trifiing with life and health
by physicians should be made criminal
offense, and its victim or his friends
should prosecute for malpractice TO the
full extent of the law. 1t is safe rule
to take no medicines from any except
those known to be trustworthy; and no
physician is trustworthy who refuses to
inform patients of possible danger from
the drugs he may prescribe. So many
have been wrecked in this way that the
old secrecy about the composition of
medicines is out of place, at least to the
extent of informing patients that they
are taking nothing liable to bind them
in the hopeless slavery of some drug
habit,

How to Read Faces.

SecretIveness is shown b" cOmpresSe
and thin lips, and small mouth if th,
lips are thin.
The large eye and mouth are evidence
of volume of language. All orators
have large mouths.
Among men of power and capacity
secretivenessandc craft are never marked
they do not need 1t.
Caution is seen in the long nose.
Hope is strong when the septum o.
middle portion of the nose projects be
low the sides. ClearneSs of the skin anC
eyes is another sign.
When the Septum is dropping at tht
tip, as in Canoya's face, or thas of Mrs
S;ddons or La Place, the faculty o
analysis is large.
Ideality is known by width of the lii
of the nose, giving it a Square-cu
appearance, rs in Byron, irving. Yer
net, Mrs. Stowe anda host OF other:
and artists.
Noses high and projecting at the III
show understanding of human nature
and love for its study. This is the nose
for physician. All eminent doctors.
naturaliSts and philosophers show thi;
feature. 1t is the probing inquiring
nose.
Fullness of the sides of the nose de
notes large constructive powers, as in
Morse and Edison.
The higher and broader the bridge of
the nose, the greater is the development
of veneration.
Self-will is shown by the height of the
nose at the root. All undeveloped race:
md faces are fiat here.

Hotels in Mexico.

There is charm about the hotels, an
air of reSpectabilIty that belongs to age,
and has no afliliation whatever with
those gorgeous establishments i. Amer
ican cities where the stunning clerk
! is autocrat supreme. The venerable
stone walls that are adorned with dingy
sculpture, have settled into L character
/ that Solicits confidence and repoSe oi
mind, and the general homelike unob-
truSiveuesS of the inn sOotheS the rest
/ less soul.
The time-worn and rather shabby old
party who preSides over the office is
amlably interested in you, but he never
becomes aggressive, and his attention
IS passing affair. Ills habit of mind
is illustrated by the reply given to the
agent of an American excursion party,
who applied for quarters at the hotel in
what was the palace of the evanescent
Emperor Iturbide "IIow much are
your rooms a day?' asked the brisk
American. -Four dollars" returned
the clerk. But shall bring you 50 peo-
pie, - said the advance agent, with con-
iidence. ''Four dollars and a half in
that case" said the serene old party of
the second part; "that makes more
troublei'
The affectionate interest with which
the philosOphic mind must regard the
eighteenth century pOlse of landlord,
who argues like that, was not shared
by the wholesale applicant for rooms.
The incident only intensified his relent-
less Americanism.
But we have kept our old hotel clerk
waiting too lOng-not that he minds it,
for he has not turned a hair, and is
counting the flies that come and 60 in
an unbuSineSs-like, but truly Mexican
style. he sees the traveller register,
and calmly dispatches him by the hand
of moZo, up the flight of stone steps to
where the guardian of the keys and let
ter-boXes reduces his trust by one, and
then we toll up two more flights of
stairs to fine old room on the tOpmost
of the circumscribing galleries. 1t is
sunny and cheerful, and opens to a bal
cony over the interior court that is
bridged by the blue sky. The view is
pleasant, offering beneath summer
house tropical vegetation and fOun-
tain basin that is covered with green
slime, and suggests malaria.
Thereafter, rs one passes i'll and out
of the hotel, the custodian of the key
will smile and be unintelligibly courte-
Gus in Spanish; but to the antique clerk
below, the guest became an established
fact when he chalked the name on 4
blackboard for public instruction.

After this remark, however, Captain

A Daylight Burglary.

tered the detectives room at police
headquarters the other day.
"When?"

u Girls Story.

rbe Guaint, gray, picturesque old grange
Tqs seen three hundred years of change
With all their varying seasons pass,
And hours like sands that through the glass
Oftine keep dropping, one by one;
We live. and loi our lives are gone,
And death and change, and hope and fears,
FIJI up the measure Of the years.
Here, in the pleasant gallery,
With carved oak panneled round, see
A Urls brown eyes and shining hair
Co'yed on the sbapely head, and fair,
Sad u.using face, whose charms engage
TIle' heart like some enchanting page,
where grief and love and tears prevail,
In sweet ClarisSa'S moving talel
A ygistful, lovely face, and one
II moves the heart TO look upon;
Poor cLildl whose eyes, through tears of
woe,
Taeke3 down a century ago,
And saw, one morning bright with May,
Her brave young lover ride away;
When b. the easement on the stair
The light Of life grew dark for her!
His letter tod her, chime till death?'
He fell il f sht, the legend saith,
Cow red with glory, aud hss ears
Were thrilled in death with conquering
cheers;
And She s.-Uye ever TO endure
Her grlef, and helped the suffering poor,
And lived uuwedded til she died,
And now in heaven Is satisfied.

Game Shooting I'm the West.

The shooting is never so good foi
water fowl on the Little Missouri Oh
| elsewhere throughout the cattle coun-
try as it is in the more fertile farm land
prairies TO the eastward. Still, Oc-
casionally we can make fair bags. The
little teal Is the commonest and least
shy of the water fowl. As they sit out
on the sandbar they often let boat
drift close up to them, and it is quite
easy also TO creep within gun shot from
the bank. / have killed eleven of them
with single barrel. The mallard
duck, shoveler duck, and broad bill are
also common, and afford excellent
sport. These, however, are shyer, and
rarely let boat drift down upon them,
unless one is able to take advantage OF
some cover or come quickly round the
point.
Geese are more wary still. Quite q
number of these breed with US; some
times in the river. sometimes in the
reedy slews or pools far up in the creeks.
out in the badlands or on the prairie,
When they are moulting it is not diff
cult TO get them if one cares to, and on
such occasions, although there cannot
be said to be any sport to be obtained
from them, yet have shot the young
birds for the table, for there can be no
better eating than a fat, three-parts
grown young goose. When their feath-
ers are grown, however, the geese show
themselves most amply fit for self pro-
lection, and it needs then very careful
stalking, indeed, before one can come
up to them. In addition TO the water
fowl proper to be obtained while drift
ing or padding down the river there
are also at times, flocks of waders at
which one can get a shot. Av0cets,
stills, yelper, marlin, and yellow legs
are occasionally found, although not
plenty. They are not apt to be shy,
and if shot is taken just as they rise
or as they wheel, the expenditure of a
single cartridge loaded with small shot
viii often suffice to bring down dozen
birds, which may prove pleasant
